The number of estimated HIV/AIDS cases in China has increased to
700,000, according to a report scheduled to be officially released on
Saturday by UNAIDS and a committee under China's State Council, the
AP/Google.com reports (Sanderson, AP/Google.com, 11/29).

The report was based on work carried out by UNAIDS, the Chinese
government and the World Health Organization.

According to the report, there were an estimated 50,000 new HIV cases
in 2007, the majority of which occurred among injection drug users and
commercial sex workers.

"China's HIV epidemic remains one of low prevalence overall, but with
pockets of high infection among specific subpopulations," the report
said (AP/Google.com, 11/29).

The report found that 44.7% of the new cases occurred through
heterosexual sex and that 42% occurred from injection drug use. It
also found that 12.2% of cases occurred among men who have sex with
men, while 1.1% of cases were through mother-to-child transmission.
China's Ministry of Health said there were 223,501 confirmed cases of
HIV/AIDS in China last month, compared with 183,733 reported at the
same time last year (AFP/Yahoo! News, 11/29).

So, that's 223,501 "confirmed" cases of HIV in China, but the clever
statisticians inflate the figure to 700,000.

With a population of 1,321,851,888 (<http://wikitravel.org/en/China>),
that gives China an estimated HIV prevalence rate of 0.05%.
